LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz said on Monday Pakistan would continue raising voice for Kashmiris at all forums of the world.

In her message on ‘Kashmir Exploitation Day’, she said: “Salutations to every martyr of Occupied Kashmir. Rich regards for every oppressed and besieged Kashmiri. Salam to mothers, sisters and sons of Occupied Kashmir.”

The CM recalled that on August 5, 2019, India set a new example of oppression and tyranny by turning occupied Jammu and Kashmir into an open prison. She wondered, “How long will the world sit with its eyes closed? How long will Kashmiris continue to suffer oppression and brutality?”

The eternal sacrifices of Kashmiris against the illegal and usurping rule of India would bear fruit soon, she hoped. Maryam hoped sustainable peace, stability, development and prosperity were possible in South Asia only with a peaceful solution to the Kashmir issue. “Every Pakistani’s heart beats with Kashmiri brothers. We are and will remain with our Kashmiri brothers,” she pledged.
